Is it true that adults are less able than children to learn because their brain is less plastic? Yes, it is.
However we can learn at every ages and science can help in the matter.
Here is an example which shows what happens when we do not dare to bridge gaps between two domains: science and adult training. It is widely accepted that instruction should be tailored to the learners so called
«learning styles». Learners might be divided into visual learners, verbal learners and doers, Trainers are supposed to provide instruction that emphasizes pictures, words or exercises.
A recent review by researchers on this belief proved there is no evidence that validates the efficiency of managing learner styles. A thoughtful review of the data provides no support for style-based instruction.
If there is no harm in using different learning styles, efficiency is not proved. Now, how can neuroscience findings on brain confirm or adjust our training prac- tices?
Apandemic is defined as theglobal spread ofa disease, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Due to the deadly consequences of the coronavirus pandemic worldwide and its rapid spread, a global pandemic was declared on March 12, 2020. Uncertainty of the process, taking decisions of quarantine and isolation, and transition to distance education have caused psychological problems such as stress, anxiety, and trauma in the society, and it is thought that the effects of these problems will have an effect for many years. The events that developed during the pandemic process affected the post-traumatic growth and psychological resilience levels of individuals. In this review, post-traumatic growth and resilience during the pandemic were evaluated in light of the literature.
This study; It isa compilation study to emphasize the physical and psychological effects of the increased use of personal protective equipment on health workers due to the pandemic in health services during the COVID-19 pandemic period. It is supported by studies conducted in our country and the world that health workers who work intensively during the pandemic period experience physical and psychological effects due to the use of personal protective equipment for a long time. The aim of our study is to draw attention to the negative effects of the increased use of personal protective equipment on the physical and psychological health of healthcare professionals during the ongoing difficult pandemic process, to remind healthcare professionals that there is a risk of deterioration in their own health while caring for their patients, and to contribute to the development of support interventions that can minimize the risk.
Hearing loss is one of the most important public health problems worldwide, which seriously affects human social and cognitive development. Although sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), characterized by severe hearing loss, is very common in adults, treatment methods are limited to the use of external hearing aids and cochlear implants.
The developments in the field of molecular technology have provided a new and effective way in the prevention and treatment of hearing-related diseases by making a major breakthrough especially in inner ear hair cell regeneration research, thanks to methods such as gene editing, gene silencing and gene replacement. In this study, gene therapy approaches that have been investigated in order to eliminate hearing loss in individuals with sensorineural hearing loss due to genetics, ototoxicity, noise and old age were compiled.
Aim: In this study, first of all, literature review on the practices in the world and in Turkey was conducted in terms of the general procedures of the conceptual framework of waste, solid waste management and municipal solid waste management. Then, it is aimed to determine the occupational health and safety hazards and risks during waste management and waste separation, collection, storage and disposal in solid waste facilities and to determine what kind of measures can be taken against these risks.
Materials and Methods: From this point of view, the aim of the study is to determine the hazards that may be encountered in the collection, separation, storage and disposal of solid wastes by municipalities and to bring the risks to an acceptable level as a result of risk analysis. It has been observed that people working in solid waste facilities have a high risk of occupational accidents due to reasons such as long working hours, intense work tempo and lack of education/information.
Aim: The textile sector, which has a significant market share in national and international trade, provides employment for people who will work in our country. Risk factors arise from the machines used in the production stage or in other stages, and the working styles and working conditions of the employees in the workplace. Two of these risk factors are dust and noise. These factors adversely affect employee health. Measures should be taken against these risk factors that adversely affect the health of the employee and a healthier and safer working environment should be provided to the employees in terms of occupational health and safety.
The aim of our study is to determine the level of dust and noise in the enterprise, which will adversely affect the working and health conditions of the workers working in the textile sector. It is to evaluate whether it is suitable for the value that should be in the environment and to determine the protection measures that should be taken for those working in unsuitable areas.
Material and Methods: For this purpose, the dust and noise measurement results of three textile companies producing in Uşak province were evaluated. The data obtained as a result of the environmental measurements made in the enterprises were evaluated. The results of the evaluation were compared with the values in the relevant regulations.
Aim: The purpose of this study is to determine to the acceptance level of the COVID-19 vaccine of the nurses participating in the study COVID-19 vaccine and to evaluate their attitudes and thoughts towards the vaccine and their fear of contracting the disease.
Material and Methods: The descriptive research was completed with 255 nurses employed in different units in a hospital. In order to obtain the data, a questionnaire prepared by the researchers in line withthe literature andthe Coronavirus (COVID-19) Fear Scale were used. He used mean ± standard deviation (mean ±SD) in the representation of numerical data, and numbers and percentages in the representation of categorical data. Normality analysis was performed with Kolmogorov Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests to evaluate the data. The statistical significance level was taken as p<0.05, and Chi-square, Student t, One Way ANOVA, Pearson Chi-square and tests were used in the analysis of the data.
To beable to explain ascientific subject in communication media; requires expertise beyond being a journalist or scientist. Science communication is an issue whose importance is increasingly recognized today. Scientists now want their work not only to be heard by more people, but also to lead to progress by causing discussion in society and influential focal points. A second purpose of science communication is to acquire new scientists who will work in the desired academic field and to provide funds for studies. Science communication; Apartfrom accelerating the forward development of the society, providing funds for new scientists and academic studies, it also aims to propose correct solutions to current problems as its third purpose. Our aim is to draw attention to the importance of scientific communication in television by opening a discussion about a murder issue that has been talked about live for months in a "Reality Show" program. When a murder case that was committed brutally in 2001 and occupied the public's agenda for decades and shook the belief in justice because it could not be solved, was discussed in all its dimensions in the national media every day for months, the case was reopened and new scientific evidence was reached. It is clearly seen that the correct establishment of scientific communication in thenational media on forensic sciences will accelerate the development in this subject.
